CEO Of Studio 5.0 and Dream Big Productions LLC
5,000+Supporters
Teresa B.: Talk to me about your Production. I was told it's similar to Soul Train, is that right? DreamBIG Productions: I cannot duplicate Don Cornelius. He is a legend, he is an icon and don't ask me how I fill those shoes. Those are not my shoes to fill. His are solidified and cemented in stone. Nobody will ever fill those That was magic in a bottle at that moment in time, Studio 5.0 is for a time such as this. So yeah while he made the foundation, laid it, slayed it and all of that, now it's time for Studio 5.0. So, yes, ma'am.
Teresa B : Okay, and how did you come up with the concept of forming Studio 5?
DreamBIG Productions: 5.0? Yes, ma'am. That point is significant. It's not that I didn't have anything else to do, it is there for a reason?
DreamBIG Productions:When the vision came back in 2018, it was a vision for a show that merged the audition phase of American Idol with Dancing with the Stars, but for ordinary people. I spent most of 2019 in preproduction on the original version of Studio 5.0 and the idea came back at that time that it was supposed to be for people 50 years of age and older As far as the point. And of course, we know the tsunami called Covid 19 hit and washed everything off the table. But I knew I was onto something because back in 2019 ABC had started teasing the golden Bachelor. So God does not allow me to do anything easy, so I'll probably never hit the lottery. Nothing is ever easy, I got to work for every single thing. So I'm a private investigator by trade; I've been a PI for more than 20 years. I’ve been in business for myself since ‘08, on paper, but it was actually before then I started working for the Fulton County medical examiner's office as a death investigator and they had the nerve to fire me. I've never even been disciplined on a job, never you get this no place you can go you'll find a write up, verbal nothing and since we're recording I'm gonna keep my language clean Those dirty dogs fired me, you know that is not really what I wanted to say, (laughs) and you know how some people say, sometimes you gotta be nudged out of the nest? No, I wasn’t nudged out of anything. I was picked up, dropkicked, body slammed, rolled over and my reputation felt like it was in shatters. They broke me, for a minute they got me to my knees. But on my knees was where the answer came. That's funny. I hadn't thought about that till just now. But my knees is where the answer came. And one day I heard two words in my spirit “streamline” and “simplify”
I was like hmmm. And it was about a day or two later, brushing my teeth in the bathroom and I heard “Soul Train”. Somebody told me about the access channel. I went there and said “hey, what'll you do to start a show here? And God bless me with a director, a producer, a three camera crew and all volunteers and an editor and I just started shooting shows. So Yeah,…
Teresa B : Oh wow!
DreamBIG Productions: So that's my only experience in television is in a Rec Center gymnasium.
Teresa B.: So, how did you get the support to back you up on your plan?
DreamBIG Productions: Teresa, one of the things somebody did for me one time that has proven to be sort of pivotal in my life, a guy gave me Martha Stewart's book years ago. I don't remember anything else about that book except I came away saying she's a smart woman, but her talent is knowing how to paint a vision and get other people with the expertise to bring it to pass. I have found out God has graced me with that same ability to make the vision plain so that they can take it and run with it. I have a staff of volunteers who work so hard on these concepts and these events. I have a whole slate of concepts. It was a brain dump of every concept I have had in my spirit for so many years That slate probably got about 15 different shows on there and more shows are coming to me. And yes,… So it is the ability to paint a vision for something that's new, Innovative and creative that people want to be a part of. They're watching this baby grow right in front of them and the fruit hasn't dropped from the tree yet, but that mug is getting heavier and heavier It's about to pop off.. I haven't had a paycheck in a year and God, He is faithful. I'm down in Fort Lauderdale sitting on the beachfront right now, I haven’t missed a beat When I've been green lighted by the Most High baby, there's nothing that can stop me, nothing.
Teresa B.: When you came up with the concept of your show and then you got the support that you need; God just put everything in place for you. Then you turned around and said I'm gonna put this show out. Boom when what was your estimated timeline as far as putting the show out act over?
DreamBIG Productions: I didn't really have one because I don't have A pipeline so to speak. No definitive pathway, so everything is winging it. It's all about a concept in my head. but the way I kept myself from feeling overwhelmed is I like to throw parties. I am a one woman party. I show up and here's your party and that's the Sagittarius in me. I am a woman rolling party. So I said I'm gonna have a party. I'm gonna throw a party. These people are going to shoot a show. And so that's how I kept it in its perspective for me to keep it from being this big weighty thing but I don't really have a pathway So now we are getting ready to resume shooting shows and what is designed to do at this point is to reignite the buzz. We've reached the buzz all the way to the West Coast. Reignite the buzz and continue to have content for our social media sites.But I've got a couple of nibbles on the line. I got to get a pitch deck done I need you to get a pitch deck. I've never done a pitch deck before so yeah,…: But guess what? It's gonna happen because somebody said to me you get that pitch deck to me,I know what network I'm gonna pitch you too I gotta do my part.
Teresa B.: Nice! How many staff members do you have helping you with this? or volunteers?
DreamBIG Productions: Let's see six. But when you don't have the ability to pay people they're juggling other responsibilities. So the thing is now I have a publicist and I have a marketing professional that is helping me with carrying some of this load. I don't even know if you know I've entered into concert promotions and get ready to have my very first national recording act on May 30th. Anybody that wants on this train… I'm not the person that wants to be the big fish around a whole lot of little fish. I want all of us to get it There's people out here making so much money every day. It's our time. The harvest is now.
Teresa B.: Is there anything that you want the public to know about you, anything that you want to share with the world about your business, about your upcoming show or anything personal about you?
DreamBIG Productions: Wow, I think my message is more important than touting my concert I want people to understand it's never too late. I had the first vision for that talk show back in the 90s. Like 93 94 and I've had so many days. I've been discouraged. I've cried out to God. was my saying Lord, I'm pregnant with about eight babies And if you cannot bring them to birth, abort them all. Let me be happy living an average life on my average couch. After I got off my average job, because I was sick. The disappointment was making my heart sick and I almost just couldn't take it. He had a time appointed on the calendar when I would be greenlighted and walk into every vision that I had in my head. I just want to tell people do not give up, keep your faith and continue to hope that it will come to pass. And God is faithful. He will not let you down.
Teresa B.: Amen
DreamBIG Productions: That's more important to me…then talking about my shows. You're gonna hear about my shows? This is the message that I need people to understand because I'm living proof of it and I thought I would die with my story still inside me. I didn't think I would live to see it. I thought I had made a mistake and yeah, I thought I heard wrong but I didn't.
Teresa B : You heard the right voice
DreamBIG Productions: I heard it, right, but It's a thing called seed, then a space called time.
Teresa B.: Mm-hmm
DreamBIG Productions: Time is where you’re gonna live or die in that space called time and then is the harvest and that's the message.
Teresa B.: Tell us how we can reach you if someone wants to be on your show.
